Description
Vintage Galvanised Cattle Trough 71″L
This reclaimed vintage galvanised cattle trough brings both character and substance to any garden setting. Measuring 71 inches long, 18.5 inches wide and 15 inches deep, it offers generous space. At one end, a 21-inch deep box section adds height, while an overflow pipe extends from the other. These original features add interest and practical potential. With some refurbishment, it could become a striking water feature. Alternatively, its size and depth make it ideal as a large galvanised trough planter for herbs, flowers or vegetables.
Galvanising is a process developed in the 18th century to coat steel or iron with zinc. This protects the metal from rust and corrosion, extending its working life. It became especially useful in agriculture, where equipment had to withstand exposure to water and the elements. A vintage galvanised cattle trough like this one has stood the test of time thanks to that durable finish.
This galvanised trough features a reinforced rim and central cross brace for strength and rigidity. Though weathered, it remains structurally solid. Dents, bent panels and surface corrosion reveal its working past and give the trough real presence. These imperfections don’t reduce its value—they enhance its visual appeal. The vintage galvanised metal sits comfortably in both structured and informal gardens.
Sustainable Garden Feature
Reclaimed agricultural equipment brings more than function to outdoor spaces. It tells a story and adds visual depth. Using a vintage galvanised cattle trough in the garden reduces waste and celebrates practical heritage. Rather than buying new, you invest in something that’s already proven its worth.
This vintage galvanised cattle trough offers history, scale and real garden potential. It works well as a standalone feature or as part of a larger planting scheme. Whether planted up or repurposed as a water feature, it brings texture and history to your space.
Alternatively, new zinc planters are here.
